Whoah. My bad, Mr. Angry, I thought you were someone else. Hey, no need to get your carrot all bent out of shape there; we were just leaving. C'mon, guys.

[walking backwards] As I was saying, bakeries are ramping up the cuteness quotient with plenty of floppy-eared darlings like thi...

Yow! Aw, dude, you shouldn't jump out at people like that! Uh, and you've got a little something on your face there... No, no, you can hardly tell. Really.

Anyway, I'm telling you guys, there really are tons of sweet hippity-hoppity hares infiltrating the bakeries! Just give me another second to find one...

Ah! Here we go:

[Psycho shower-scene music]

Aaaiiieee! It's Lemon Lips, the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on! He's got a vicious streak a mile wide - he's a killer! I knew I should have packed the Holy Hand Grenade this morning...

Well, if you'll all join me in running away this direction, we can continue our quest for the cutesy bunnies.

[staring wide-eyed]

Uh.

Right, I give up. Quest over. Hope you all enjoyed your time here today. Kindly exit through the gift shop...

First, I screamed. Then I laughed. The bleeding eye bunny is just too great. I hate Easter. I have a rabbit phobia but the idea of munching down on some bleeding eye rabbit deliciousness is just too....well, I'd suffer through it.

That angry bunny nearly made me jump (hop?) out of my chair. That is one ANGRY bunny! And I agree with Veronica - the third one looks like one of the experiments from Lilo & Stitch, or maybe something from Pokemon????

So people are willing to point out that rabbits aren't rodents and totally skip over the Monty Python reference? For shame.Maybe these are Watership Downs cakes and not Easter cakes like Jasry said...Jen you better lob that Holy Hand Grenade quickly....one, two FIVE! (three, sir!)

As anyone fortunate enough to have house rabbits will tell you (I have two), bunnies can be quite disapproving and ill-tempered, as these cake decoraters are no doubt aware! I'm backing up my case with a link to another one of my favorite blogs:http://www.disapprovingrabbits.com/

Bunnies aren't cute like everybody supposes They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses And what's with all the carrots? What do they need such good eyesight for anyway? Bunnies! Bunnies, it must be bunnies!

Oh the poor little bleeding eyed bunny! Other than that it would have been a really cute cake. Oh the horror!We saw some real bunnies in our yard yesterday....they were really cute....eating the grape hyacinths......

Is it just me, or does the CC thing look like the evil gremlins thing? You know, the one that mutates when you add water after dark (or whatever it was, it's been a while). And bleeding bunny is just representing the sacrifice that started the whole thing, don't ya know... It's just a flesh wound.

That ain't no ordinary rabbit. That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever laid eyes on! That rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! He's got huge, sharp-- eh-- he can leap about-- look at the bones!

I'm getting a few odd looks. I'm sitting in my law school library (read: silence is to be maintained at all costs) and I'm silently laughing so hard I'm crying. Lemon Lips could be the new Naked Mohawk Baby Carrot Jockeys for me, I can't look at it without cracking up!

Poor bunnies! Really, Easter fare is all ready a bit strange, what with peeps and those wretched eggs stuffed with lemon-colored shortening. These mangled bunnies need to be put out of their misery -- calling PETA!

The very first comment on here does mention that rabbits aren't rodents, they're lagomorphs (the difference is that rodents only have one set of front teeth, while lagomorphs, such as the rabbit, hare, and pika, have another set immediately behind their front teeth). But. It's a "Monty Python" reference! BOO YEAH!

Jen, Jen, Jen...I am firmly convinced that you and I would make wonderful RL friends. You know what a TARDIS is, what a stargate is, and you're quoting one of the best movies ever, "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." If you weren't married and I wasn't entirely heterosexual, I'd ask you to marry me.

AHHHHHHHH! the evil demented monster bunnies are coming to devour us all! lemon-lips is more of a gremlin than a bunny, he seriously looked deranged!!!!!! and that last one looked like a drunken celebrity was trying to make it, eugh!!!!!!!!! and that bleeding one is disturbing, like easter bunnies gone HORRIBLY wrong.... *shudder *

Bunny #2 looks like he was stabbed in the eyes with his carrot. And it must have hurt too, because he's crying! Actually, that one wouldn't be so bad but for the fact that the wreckerator made him into a devil-bunny with those blood-red eyes.

I had a horrifying lamb cake... I am of the opinion it was intended to be some sort of weird passover thing but am assured it was an Easter cake (ewwww eating the lamb of G-d, you know when it's not the host, kind of creeps me out) anyway I was all set to take a picture and discovered they had cut into it and started eating it already!OTOH -- there's some ummm interesting lamb cakes out there!http://lambcake.raktron.com/

My two year old just walked up to the computer screen, pointed at Lemon Lips and said "Look! Bunny cake! Eat bunny cake?" Just goes to show, 2 year olds will want to eat just about anything with icing!

And I love the Holy Hand Grenade reference - that's the first thing I thought when I saw that bunny!

Some of those cakes make me fear rabbits almost as much as "Night of the Lepus"! (I should have learned by now not to read this stuff before bed.) I love your blog. You know, somehow, I knew you'd seen "The Holy Grail" at some point. This post just confirms it. I'm going to go to sleep now with visions of "nasty, sharp, pointy teeth" dancing...er, hopping...in my head :)

All I can think is that the white "bunny" ccc is what would result should you breed a rabbit, a monkey and a koala!

On the other hand, my family celebrates the zombie rabbit (long story) - if you are a good little boy/girl, the zombie rabbit leave you chocolate, if not, he eats your brains. Talk about incentive to be good!

I now realize that this is exactly what he would look like...we are well on the way to scarring our kids for life!

I should point out that at the shop where I found the bleeding-eyed bunny, there were smaller versions in packs of three. Scary enough, but EVERY SINGLE ONE had the bleeding eye! What IS this??(Although they since fixed it up, and then took them off the shelves altogether...*sigh*)

Oh. My. Word. Jen, I'm playing catch up here and am I glad I did. See, we're missing a cat and we have lots of rabbits around our place. Well, if they look anything like these, I think I know what kind of trouble our poor kitty ran into! EEEK!

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
